In this final Report, ITSC concludes that Florence remains at risk to significant flooding and this risk grows each day. It is not a question of whether a flood of the magnitude of 1966 or greater will occur, but when. In fact, the level of protection that exists in Florence now is not on a level appropriate to the citizens and treasures that rest within the city. If, under current conditions, a 1966-like flood occurred, the consequences to human lives, treasures, properties and community infrastructure could be much more catastrophic than they were in 1966.Proceedings e report (Firenze University Press)Saving a world treasure Flood damage preventionFlood controlFlood damage prevention.Flood control.307.09Seminara Giovanni1461311NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910774849003321Saving a World Treasure3666421UNINA
